Did you know that in the past year, UNL has had to help University travelers leave global areas suddenly affected by such things as natural disasters and political unrest? In each case, it helped to know those travelers’ destinations and travel itineraries in order to extricate them safely and in a timely manner. To support faculty safety, new international travel requirements were implemented Oct. 1 across UNL. Faculty/staff travelers are expected to:
• Complete an electronic travel authorization request in ESS Firefly prior to travel. This is accomplished in CEHS by submitting all completed travel authorization forms (http://go.unl.edu/6c2s) to Nell Inselman in the business office BEFORE any expenses for the trip are incurred.
• Purchase all airline tickets for international travel through UNL's current travel service provider, Travel & Transport.
These rules apply only to international travel, to and from the U.S. and to in-country travel within all foreign locations. By executing these two simple steps, UNL can better track the location of our employees who may need assistance as they travel outside the United States.
